This paper examines the pros and cons of gradual versus big-bang approaches toward devaluations. It presents original empirical evidence regarding output, consumption, investment and trade balances associated with gradual and big-bang devaluation episodes. It finds that big-bang devaluations are associated with lower output, investment and consumption, while gradual devaluations are not associated with any contemporaneous drops. Five case studies of gradual devaluations are also conducted
